Adobe Illustrator CS3 Tip – Moving Objects from Different Layers to the Same Layer

 
 

One fast way to move objects from different Layers into the same Layer is to select the first object with the Selection tool (V), then Shift-click on additional object to select them as well. Next, go to the Object menu>Group. This will not only Group the objects, it will move all of those objects into the same Layer as the topmost object. But what if you wanted to move all selected objects into a totally different Layer? No problem! Select all of the object with the Selection tool. Then click your other Layer in the Layers panel to make it the active Layer. Then go to the Object menu>Arrange>Send to Current Layer. All objects move to the active Layer maintaining their original stacking order.
